Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu (Li Li) opened the precedent of the middle and late Tang Dynasty empress, but the harem can not be left without a master, after six years on the throne, Li Yu crowned the concubine Du Gu clan as a noble concubine to rule the harem, this Du Gu clan is the sinister and fierce Du Gu Jing Yao in "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", in fact, the historical Du Gu clan and Shen Pearl have no intersection.

After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Li was ordered to recover liangjing, during this time, Li Li and two other women who were very important to him left him one after another, one was the Princess Cui of Guangping, who died shortly after returning to Chang'an, Li Li originally found the birth mother of the eldest son Li Shi when he recovered Luoyang, but the rebels attacked Luoyang again, and when the Tang army reverted to Luoyang, the Shen clan lost track, and at this time, under the search of the flowers and birds sent by Emperor Li Heng, the dugu clan with outstanding appearance stood out and became Li Li's side room. At this point, Li Li really found the love of his life, the first woman in the Tang Dynasty to be posthumously crowned empress from a noble concubine, and finally stepped onto her stage.

DuGu's father, Du Guying, did not have a high official position, and only joined the army as a recorder of Zuo Wei, which was an official position under Qipin. The dugu clan's booklet points out that her ancestors are "Yuan Wei Qi Fan, Zhou, Sui Emperor Hou", it is very clear, this Du Gu clan is the descendant of the great beauty man, the Three Dynasties Guozhang, the Empress of Zhou refers to the Ming Jing Empress of the Northern Zhou Ming Emperor Yuwen Yu, the Sui Dynasty empress refers to the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian's document empress Du Lonely Jialuo, and the Du Lonely Family also has a relationship in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the mother of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who was posthumously named the fourth daughter of the Yuan zhen empress.

But in fact, the ancestor of the Dugu clan was originally surnamed Li, but during the Northern Qi Northern Zhou Conquest, he was captured by the Northern Zhou general Du Guxin, and later followed Du Guxin and gradually became close to it, so he was given the surname Du Lonely, and later his son Du Lonely Kai worked hard to make a career, and was able to be knighted, and his descendants were able to serve as officials in the three generations of Zhou Sui and Tang, until they continued to the generation of Du Guoying. The reason why the dugu clan's lament book is written in this way is first, to climb relatives, and second, to confuse the public opinion, because according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, people with the same surname cannot marry.

Shortly after Princess Cui's death, Li Li was crowned King of Chu for his great efforts to recover the two capitals, and his father Emperor Li Heng ordered Flowers and Birds to visit beautiful people to enrich the court, and it was around this time that the Dugu clan was elected to Li Li's palace, and this woman known for her beauty quickly captured Li Li's heart and gained the favor of the special room.
In "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", Li Li became a relative of the Dugu clan
Soon after, Li Li was crowned crown prince, changed his name to Li Yu, and officially determined his title as crown prince, but Li Li's road to the throne was still difficult, and the Zhang clan, who was crowned empress, was full of hostility towards Li Li, and Li Li, the crown prince, was trembling and trembling, until Li Heng became seriously ill, and Empress Zhang colluded with Zhu Huiguang, Ma Yingjun and others to plan to establish Li Qi's second brother Li Shu as the prince of Yue, and was eventually defeated by Li Li, Li Fuguo, and Cheng Yuanzhen, and Empress Zhang was deposed and imprisoned.
After Li Li ascended the throne, he did not rush to establish a harem, but showed his determination to put down the rebellion, at that time, the Anshi Rebellion had not yet been completely settled, and Li Li imitated the precedent of his father Li Heng not recording the harem before the two capitals were recovered, in order to encourage himself. In the following year, the eight-year Anshi rebellion was finally settled, but the doom of the Tang Dynasty was not lifted, and tubo, which had originally been good friends with the Tang Dynasty, saw the decline of the Tang Dynasty and continued to grow, and in the third year of Li Li's reign, Tubo directly led troops to attack the capital, Li Li led his men to flee to Shaanzhou, and the Tubo army immediately captured Chang'an, and later Guo Ziyi led the troops to come, using his might to scare off the Tubo army and recover Chang'an, which had been captured for fifteen days.

After this incident, the establishment of the harem was naturally shelved again. However, Li Li's favor for the Dugu clan was not less, as early as a year before Li Li took the throne, the Dugu clan gave birth to his seventh son Li Yi, who was just born, Xiao Qi, who was just born, was named the king of the county by his grandfather, and after Li Li ascended the throne, he named the eldest son Li Shi the king of Lu, and soon changed his title to the king of Yong, and then named the second son Li Mi the king of Zheng, this little seven was named the king of Han, and the other heirs were not sealed, which shows how much Li Li attaches importance to this young son. In addition, because of her favor for the Dugu clan, Li Li ordered her father DuGuying to be posthumously named Gongbu Shangshu.

After Li Li returned to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty was still plagued by disasters. The eunuch Luo Fengxian, who served as the overseer of the army, mistakenly believed the rumors of Xin Yunjing, and actually participated in the collusion between the general Gu Huai'en and Hui Hui, and finally forced him to rebel, such a famous general who had established a great meritorious service for the Tang Dynasty was actually hit by this disaster, which made people feel sad to read, and the servant Gu Huai'en was forced to defect to Tubo, and in the first year of Yongtai, he led an army to attack the Tang Dynasty, and was finally pacified by Guo Ziyi, and the servant Gu Huai'en also fell ill and died soon after, and Li Li, as emperor, was also very sad, and lamented that the servant Gu Huai'en was misguided.

Later, she was a noble concubine, born to Wang Yi of Han and Princess Huayang. — The Biography of the Empress Dowager of the Old Book ▪ of Tang
After this incident, Tubo did not dare to commit another crime for a while, the Tang Dynasty finally won a period of time to recuperate, and Li Li, who had experienced great winds and waves, could finally free up time to set up a harem, just in the third year of the calendar, Li Li Ming issued an edict to establish dugushi as a noble concubine, and called her "ke vice palace teaching, respecting the pot office" in the book, which shows that as early as before the canonization, dugu clan had been appointed to take charge of the affairs of the harem. At this time, more than 6 years have passed since Li Li ascended the throne. Because of the power of the lonely noble concubine, her uncle and brother were all given official positions, and the lonely family became a beautiful foreign relative.
Du lonely noble concubines spoiled the harem, and the history books say that "after love meets the first" and "Zhu Jihan enters the imperial palace", it shows that Li Li is the exclusive favorite of her, but some people will wonder, if so pampered, why not set up the Dugu clan as the empress? There are three reasons for this:
Tang Suzong and Empress Zhang in "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty"
One is that Li Li left a shadow on the empress, far away Wu Zetian and Empress Wei did not say, just say that his father's Empress Zhang, to his road to the throne brought many hidden dangers, the empress as a middle palace, has a huge potential energy, in order to prevent female dictatorship, Li Li must cut this road; (the author has written about Empress Zhang, interested friends can look at, link at the bottom)
The second is the status of Concubine Cui, who is the niece of Yang Guifei and the original wife of Li Li, although she lost power and fell out of favor after the change of Ma Songpo, Li Li never deposed her right wife, whether before or after her death, because of blood reasons, the courtiers could not agree to posthumously crown her as empress, but she was also the original match in name, so that the Dugu clan could not cross the name of Concubine Cui;
The third is also the most important, that is, a few years ago, Li Li had already appointed the eldest son Li Shi as the crown prince, and now he has a son of the Dugu clan as the empress, then it is not the same as her own situation at that time, when Empress Zhang's son was alive, she was bent on helping her son ascend to the position of prince, and when the son died, she wanted to support Li Li's second brother as the king, in order not to let her son experience the hardships and sufferings of his own year, Li Li could only not be the empress.
Although Dugu Guifei did not become empress, she was treated almost the same as the empress, and Li Li not only always loved her, but also loved Wu and Wu. In addition to the little seventh Li Yuan, who had just turned one year old and was crowned the King of Han, the noble concubine also had a daughter, that is, the fifth daughter of the emperor.
The princess is brilliant and wise, waiting for the emperor's will, and will be moved to speak with joy. What the emperor is precious is therefore beautiful, and what the emperor is evil is therefore all, loved by the emperor. - "Friendship and Love ▪ of the Imperial Family of the Imperial ▪ Family ▪"
Just in the second year after the Dugu clan was crowned a noble concubine, Li Li named her beloved daughter princess Huayang, this little princess is really a sweet little cotton jacket, she is the most understanding of her father's joy, every time she can say the words to her father's heart, let the happy father be happier, let the angry father turn anger into joy, it is no wonder that Li Li loves this daughter so much. In the seventh year of the Gregorian calendar, Princess Huayang fell ill, Li Li and Dugu Guifei were very anxious, in addition to careful treatment, Li Li deliberately transformed a Taoist temple, so that her daughter became a Taoist nun, the legal name Qionghua Zhenren, thinking that her daughter prayed for blessings, of course, this kind of monasticism is only nominal, not really tossing the princess.
Tang Dynasty princesses and ladies
However, life and death is the destiny of heaven, the princess's illness is still getting more and more serious, seeing that the Taoists are hopeless, Li Li asked the Zen leader at that time to adopt Princess Huayang as a daughter, this master is not Tang Sanzang of "Journey to the West", he was the premier Buddhist master at that time, but the second ancestor of Tantric Buddhism, and his status was very lofty.
However, even so, it was still impossible to recover the death of Princess Huayang. In the ninth year of the Calendar, the princess was critically ill, Li Li went to visit her daughter, the heartache was extreme, the princess bit her father's finger before she died, perhaps hoping that her father could always remember her, after the death of Princess Xue of Huayang, Li Li and the lonely concubine were extremely distressed, Li Li did not have the heart to eat for several days, and did not want to go to the court to listen to the government, and the courtiers went to the court, and he woke up, after all, he was an emperor, so he used to eat the court.

After Princess Huayang left, the saddest thing was the lonely noble concubine, so the beloved daughter died so suddenly, as a mother, how could the Du lonely clan not feel sad, so depressed, and soon fell ill, and in October of the tenth year of the calendar, it was late autumn and early winter, Li Li's lifelong love Du lonely noble concubine Xian died, leaving behind her husband and 15-year-old son Li Yuan.
Noble Concubine Xue, posthumously honored as Empress Zhenyi, was buried in the inner temple, and could not bear to leave the palace for many years. Thirteen years of October party burial. — The Biography of the Empress Dowager of the Old Book ▪ of Tang
After losing two beloved relatives in two years, Li Li's grief can be imagined, and he ordered the posthumous title of Dugu Guifei as Empress Zhenyi. In the Tang Dynasty, there was only one precedent for the emperor to posthumously appoint his concubine as empress, that is, Li Li's grandfather Li Longji posthumously named the pet concubine Wu Huifei as Empress Zhenshun, and the dugu concubines had certain similarities with each other, both of them were able to run the harem for many years when the emperor's original consort was deposed or for some reason, and they were also the emperor's favorite concubines, and this title also showed their status in the heart of their husbands.
Zhen, Masaya. Although Concubine Wu Huifei and Dugu Guifei were not the emperor's wives during their lifetime, their titles were led by Zhen, which shows that they were already their own wives in the hearts of their husbands, and the word "Yi" is even more blunt.
Overlooking Daming Palace Ruins Park
After posthumously crowning DuGushi as empress, Li Li was still difficult to abandon his concubine, and he temporarily buried the coffin of Dugu Guifei in the western steps of the inner temple (The Purple Palace of Daming Palace), and for three years he could not bear to let her out of the palace, it seemed that Aifei did not leave, until the thirteenth year of the Gregorian calendar, Li Li completed the tomb built for Empress Zhenyi, which agreed to let Du Lonely's coffin out of the palace for burial.
Just seven months after Empress Zhenyi was buried, Li Li died of illness at the Zichen Palace at the age of 53. In the 17 years from the ascension of Emperor Daizong to his death, Li Li only posthumously honored him as a noble concubine, and did not appoint other noble concubines, and even the three concubines of Shu, De, and Xian, whose status was inferior to that of guifei, were not crowned, which showed that the transcendent status of the Dugu clan in Li Li's heart, this insistence was not only in the life of the Dugu clan, but even after the death of the Dugu clan, Li Li did not change.

Lonely Concubine Guifei is undoubtedly lucky, although she was not as born as Concubine Cui, nor was she able to give birth to an eldest son for her husband like Shen Shi, but she had been favored by her husband for many years, from her entry into the Chu Royal Palace to her death, she accompanied her husband through 17 years of leisurely years, accompanied her husband through the thrill of the princely period and tubo invasion to escape from Chang'an, but also experienced the joy of anshi chaos and peace and the joy of repelling Tubo, and more those years of worrying about her daughter's belly, she got her husband's sincere and enthusiastic love, her beauty, Virtuous virtue is her pampered capital, such a woman, actually in the TV series was portrayed as a sinister and vicious woman, but it added a little emotion.
